See Real Flowers | Pasadena, California

These faceted grey green Sapphires sparkle like tiny dew drops. They are knotted on a beige nylon cord along with tiny seed pearls and solid 18k gold beads. The pattern is irregular, to mimic the improvised creations found in nature. The bracelet closes with a solid 14k gold spring clasp.

See Real Flowers is designed and made by Elena Chien in Pasadena, California. The collection draws on traditions of handmade jewelry in both the design, and the use of simple natural materials like leather, shell, stone, and wood. Many of the pieces are talismanic - filled wild California sage, Tulsi wood, or small ocean pebbles collected by Elena from the Pacific Ocean. They are meant to bring calm, clarity, or protection to the wearer. See Real Flowers is a balance of simplicity, beauty, and playfulness.
